The second instalment of A Plague Tale is a visually stunning and terrifyingly graphic game. This rollercoaster of emotions will guide you through some of the most scenic, wonderous and beautiful places, before dragging you through areas and scenarios that make you question the sanity of the level designers.

The stealth in this game has been reworked to give you more creative options for each encounter, but has balanced that with what felt like more adaptive, responsive and more plentiful enemies. A few control and AI hiccups aside, I enjoyed the increased challenge that came with this, but lead to some of these encounters being occasionally tedious.

Amid the sometimes overly childish, and existential dread fuelled writing was a story that, by the end, has you feeling ultimately satisfied.
